How is it possible, when there are so many people in the world, for a life to be so shockingly solitary?

Maggie O'Farrell, from Instructions for a Heatwave (Headline Book Publishing, 2013)

To look into her eyes was to behold the visage of an incandescent, forbidden deity.

What are you supposed to do with all the love you have for somebody if that person is no longer there? What happens to all that leftover love? Do you suppress it? Do you ignore it? Are you supposed to give it to someone else?

Partings are strange. It seems so simple: one minute ago, four, five, he was here, at her side; now, he is gone. She was with him; she is alone. She feels exposed, chill, peeled like an onion.

- Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet

Paul Mescal will star as the young William Shakespeare in a big-screen version of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao.

The film is not related to Lolita Chakrabarti’s stage play, which has played to sold-out runs in Stratford-upon-Avon and the West End; rather it will be scripted by Zhao and O’Farrell.

Mescal will appear alongside Jessie Buckley as Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, called Agnes in the book, which explores the loss of their 11-year-old son to the plague.

Moodboard: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

every life has its kernel, its hub, its epicentre, from which everything flows out, to which everything returns

Los que se nos da se nos puede quitar en cualquier momento. La crueldad y la devastación nos aguardan a la vuelta de cualquier esquina, dentro de un arcón, detrás de una puerta: saltan sobre una en cualquier momento como un ladrón o un bandido. La cuestión es no bajar nunca la guardia. No creer nunca que se está a salvo.

Maggie O’Farrell, Hamnet
